Twist Of Fate - Olivia Newton-John

They sat together in the park As the evening sky be dark She looked at him and he felt a spark Tingle to his bones, it was then he felt alone And wished that he'd gone straight Watch out for a simple twist of fate They walked along by the old canal Was so confused, I remember well Stopped into a strange hotel With a neon burning bright He felt the heat of the night It hit him like a freight train Moving with a simple twist of fate A saxophone someplace far off played She is walking under the arcade The light bust through a beat-up shade Where he was waking up She dropped a coin into the cup Of a blind man at the gate Forgot about a simple twist of fate He woke up and the room was bare He didn't see her anywhere He told himself that he didn't care Pushed the window open wide Felt an emptiness inside To which he just could not relate Brought on by a simple twist of fate He hears a ticking of the clock And walks along with a parrot that talks Hunts her down by the waterfront docks Where the sailors all come in Maybe she'll pick him out again Oh, how long must he wait One more time for a simple twist of fate People tell me it's a sin To know and feel too much within I still believe she was my twin But God, I lost the ring, she was born in spring But I was born too late Blame it on the simple twist of fate

They sat together in the park As the evening sky grew dark She looked at him and he felt a spark tingle in his bones It was then he felt alone and wished he'd gone straight And watched out for a simple twist of fate They walked alone by the old canal A little confused I remember well And stopped into a strange hotel with a neon burning bright He felt the heat of the night hit him like a freight train Moving with a simple twist of fate A saxophone someplace far off played As she was walking on by the arcade As the light busts through a beat up shade where he was waking up She dropped a coin into the cup of a blind man at the gate And foot about a simple twist of fate He woke up the room was bare He didn't see her anywhere He told himself he didn't care pushed the window open wide Felt an emptiness inside to which he just could not relate Brought on by a simple twist of fate He hears the ticking of the clocks And walks along with a parrot that talks Hunts her down by the waterfront docks where the sailors all come in Maybe she'll pick him out again how long must he wait One more time for a simple twist of fate People tell me it's a sin To know and feel too much within I still believe she was my twin but I lost the ring She was born in spring but I was born too late Blame it on a simple twist of fate

They sat together in the park As the evening sky grew dark She looked at him and he felt a spark tingle to his bones It was then he felt alone and wished that he'd gone straight And watched out for a simple twist of fate They walked along by the old canal A little confused, I remember it well Stopped into an old hotel with the neon burnin' bright He felt the heat of the night hit him like a freight train Moving with a simple twist of fate A clarinet some place softly played She was walkin' on by the arcade She heard the melody rise and fade, the sun was comin' up She dropped a coin into the cup of a blind man at the gate And forgot about a simple twist of fate He woke up and she was gone He didn't see nothing but the dawn He got out of bed with his clothes back on, pushed back blind Found a note she'd left behind, to which he just could not relate All about a simple twist of fate He hears the ticking of the clocks And walks along through the city blocks Hunt her down by the waterfront docks where the sailors all come in Maybe she'll see him once again, how long must he wait? Once more time for a simple twist of fate People tell me that it's a crime To feel too much at any one time She should have caught me in my prime, she would have stayed with me Instead of goin' off to sea and leavin' me to meditate Upon a simple twist of fate

I confess my heart's in a mess I lost my way and I need you to say I can tell you I love you whenever you need reminding I'll be where you're going you think they'll be no silver lining When you need my understanding I'm giving you all that I can give I'm winning a pool I'm hoping that you'll forgive I confess my heart's in a mess And you can attend to it I lost my way and I need you to say To say you'll attend to it If you show me I'm a keeper If you lift me up and love me deeper I'm no angel, but I promise you this I'm gonna be weightless I will make you all mine, I'm not giving up For a minute But love can be lonely if you are the only one in it I believe that any moment you could be standing at my door Don't make it too late I don't want to wait no more I confess my heart's in a mess And you can attend to it I'm on my knees and begging you please To say you'll attend to it If you show me I'm a keeper If you lift me up and love me deeper I'm no angel, but I promise you this I'm gonna be weightless If you show me I'm a keeper If you lift me up and love me deeper I'm no angel, but I promise you this I'm gonna be weightless
